I do not know who the color man was on ESPN2's coverage of the ASU/Northwestern game, but he came up with a gem. They were showing a replay of an illegal block in the back call, and he said, "sometimes blockers get their heads in the wrong place." (Yeah, so do color guys...like up their rear ends.)

On a game last week a pass hit a defender right in the hands before he dropped it, and the play-by-play guy said, "he intercepts it and drops it." Really? That would be a fumble by the defensive player.

Oh well, announcers saying not-so-intelligent things...not exactly headline news.
